Nazareth Lyrics

"Not Faking It" lyrics


(copyright 1973 mountain music, ltd., carlin music corp.
All rights reserved.
Yellow dog music in canada and u.s.)

Slim Jim was a stool pidgeon
On the payroll of the FBI
Reverend Fred sold instant religion
With a license from the man in the sky
Billy the Kid was a gunslinger
Edgar Wallace was a dead ringer
Me, I'm just a rock'n'roll singer.

Keyhole Pete was a keen watcher
Had a telephoto lens in each eye
Jack the Ripper was a cool stalker
But his birds no longer fly
James Joyce was a mudslinger
And Jesus Christ was a forgiver
Me, I'm just a rock'n'roll singer.

I'm not fakin' it
Foolin' myself that I'm makin' it
I'm not fakin' it
I'm not fakin' it.

Tricky Dicky was a fast talker
But his promises were always a lie
Nostradamus was a doomwatcher
Predicted when we're gonna die
Cleopatra was a love giver
Jesse James was a born killer
Me, I'm just a rock'n'roll singer.
